Hillary Rodham Clinton's re-election campaign. Rupert Murdoch, the devoutly conservative Australian-born founder of Fox News and owner of the New York Post will fete a Democrat who is the very embodiment of left-wing excess to his viewers and readers, a source in Clinton's camp said. That person said Murdoch's move doesn't represent a shift in his core beliefs, but signals his recognition that Clinton has done a good job in the Senate. Murdoch held a similar fundraiser several years ago for Sen. Charles Schumer, who also is a Democrat. The Clintons, who have a penchant for de-fanging their enemies, have been cozying up to Murdoch for several years. The senator chatted him up at a recent Fox News anniversary party. And some media critics have even noted that Fox's talking heads don't pillory Hillary Clinton quite like they used to. In November, Newsday reported that Murdoch's News Corp. paid the Glover Park Group, whose principals include Clinton advisers Howard Wolfson and Gigi Georges, about $200,000 in an unsuccessful effort to block TV ratings changes. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelpdiver 2 #2 May 9, 2006 I bet he's eager for her to run for President, too. That crafty man is thinking about the long term picture. No Republican is going to win in 2008 running on Shrub's record. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

storm1977 0 #4 May 9, 2006 in what sense? Murdock has often been refered to as part of a right wing conspiracy... In fact, MANY people on this site say that often. Many people on this site say you can NOT trust anything Foxnews says because Murdock a known right winger owns the station.... I wonder what they will say now.... hmmm ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #5 May 9, 2006 IS this one of those things like, for example, all those Republicans who contributed to Ralph Nader's campaign? Speed Racer -------------------------------------------------- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
